We have been more than impressed with the Sunday Champagne Brunch here at Hilton Singapore, and if you are also a big fan like us, you will be glad to know that the festive spread is basically all the goodness of it – just bigger and better, with added festive dishes that will put you in a jolly mood.

Nothing screams luxury more than fresh seafood options. The spread here includes Alaskan King Crab, freshly shucked oysters and Maine lobsters. Over on the carving board are festive meats such as U.S. prime ribs, roasted stuffed turkey and honey-baked ham.

The famed flame-grilled meats are most definitely not left out. Expect smoky prime meat cuts, wagyu flank steaks and Rangers Valley grain-fed beef tenderloin, just to name a few. Hungry yet? Carnivores, it’s party time!

So much value for what you are paying, right? There’s more.

FESTIVE DINING SETS AND CREATIONS AT OPUS BAR & GRILL

If buffet is not your thing, a slower paced, multi-course set should work better – look out for three-course festive sets (from 7 Dec to 30 Dec 2015) or four-course sets (on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve) at Opus Bar & Grill.

From the three-course set menus, one main to look out for is the Pork Belly with zesty flavors and crunchy textures of citrus, cabbage, cranberries and apple sauce. As for desserts, you might love the almond cake with white chocolates and chewy nougatine, topped with sweet cherry ice cream.

For Christmas Eve, the set menu is taken up a notch and the one that we are most excited for is the Duck Confit with potatoes, frisee, quail eggs, tangerine and radicchio. If you prefer fish, the Danish-style rainbow trout served with citrus fruits, fennel salad and garlic butter is sure to leave you in awe.

Opus Bar & Grill is also opening their doors on New Year’s Eve. Well, every reason to indulge, really. We need to end our year with a bang!

This four-course set menu for New Year’s Eve features some of the most scrumptious dishes. Pick from fish and red meat options; either the roasted wagyu rump with green peas, shallots, bacon, black garlic and béarnaise, or the melt-in-your-mouth Chilean sea bass topped with asparagus, baby potatoes and pickled cucumbers.
